Folder Properties dialog box

Use this dialog box to set properties for folders that will be created at run time.

Folder properties can only be set for folders that have not yet been created. To open this dialog box, click the Set Properties button on the Destination tab of the Autonomy WorkSite component configuration dialog box.

Option	Description
Description	Enter a description for the folder if the folder does not yet exist.
Inherit folder's profile information fields from parent folder	If a folder is a subfolder of another folder, then checking this box will copy the parent folder's fields onto this new folder. This will only happen if a parent folder exists. Note: A document/folder can have several parent folders; therefore, it will inherit the properties from the first found parent folder on the server.
Profile Information for Document Folder	Select the profile fields you wish to set for the folder. Name is the property field name. Value is the value associated with the Name. For some names, a list of values are specified in the database, and the Value setting is then limited to the database values. You can choose from those values after you provide a name click the browse button (...) next to the Value box. If you then enter a value that is not associated with the name, the component will display an error message when it tries to create the folder. You can enter any Value when the Name entry is not associated with a lookup list. The lookup option for the Name is only available when Server, User Name, Password and Database are all specified on the General tab. The lookup option for the value is only available when Server, User Name, Password and Database are all specified on the General tab and a valid property field Name has been specified in this dialog box. Note: The custom21 — custom24 fields can only accept a date value, as these fields have been specifically designated as date fields within Autonomy WorkSite. The custom25 — custom28 fields can only accept a Boolean (True or False) value, as these fields have been specifically designated as Boolean fields within Autonomy WorkSite.

Inherit folder's profile information fields from parent folder

If a folder is a subfolder of another folder, then checking this box will copy the parent folder's fields onto this new folder. This will only happen if a parent folder exists.

Note: A document/folder can have several parent folders; therefore, it will inherit the properties from the first found parent folder on the server.

Profile Information for Document Folder

Select the profile fields you wish to set for the folder.

Name is the property field name.
Value is the value associated with the Name.

For some names, a list of values are specified in the database, and the Value setting is then limited to the database values. You can choose from those values after you provide a name click the browse button (...) next to the Value box. If you then enter a value that is not associated with the name, the component will display an error message when it tries to create the folder. You can enter any Value when the Name entry is not associated with a lookup list.

The lookup option for the Name is only available when Server, User Name, Password and Database are all specified on the General tab. The lookup option for the value is only available when Server, User Name, Password and Database are all specified on the General tab and a valid property field Name has been specified in this dialog box.

Note: The custom21 — custom24 fields can only accept a date value, as these fields have been specifically designated as date fields within Autonomy WorkSite. The custom25 — custom28 fields can only accept a Boolean (True or False) value, as these fields have been specifically designated as Boolean fields within Autonomy WorkSite.

Note: If the Inherit Folder's Profile Information Fields from Parent Folder check box is selected and the fields are specified in the profile information field list, then the folder will first inherit the parent folder's fields and then set the fields given in the list. Any fields in the profile information field list will therefore overwrite the folder's fields if they were inherited.
